The Principals resolved that all party organs nationally from the branches to the Provinces must convene to establish alliance coordinating committees and immediately organise joint activities with specific reference to voter education and registration mobilisation at every level. The National Organisers of the respective parties shall spearhead this programme with immediate effect.
The Principals also established various national alliance committees which include Communications, Organising and networks, International Relations, Legal Services and Electoral Reforms, Youth and Women.
Professor Welshman Ncube was appointed the spokesperson of the Alliance.
The Principals urge the people of Zimbabwe to register in their numbers as we prepare for the watershed 2018 elections at the heart of the motivation behind the formation of the MDC Alliance was to avoid splitting the vote in favour of the status quo.
2018 is a game changer and you are the game changers
Stronger together

MDC Alliance President
“The Principals urge the people of Zimbabwe to register in their numbers as we prepare for the watershed 2018 elections at the heart of the motivation behind the formation of the MDC Alliance was to avoid splitting the vote in favour of the status quo,” wrote Tsvangirai.
“2018 is a game changer and you are the game changers.”
Will someone please tell this fruit-cake, Morgan Tsvangirai, that Zanu PF has effectively taken all the steam people had build-up to register by making the process as hard and tedious slow as they can. The harder the people tried to get registered the higher the regime raised the bar. What does Tsvangirai want people to do when the voter registration which is supposed to take 5 minutes takes two hours, when the registration stops because they have run out of VR9 forms, etc.
If Tsvangirai was not such a fruit-cake with an empty head, then he would remember that these dirty tactics of frustrating opposition supporters to stop them registering as voters is not a new thing. The regime used the same dirty tactics in the July 2013 elections. Many opposition supporters will try to get registered but many will never be registered regardless of how hard they try. It is clearly one of the regime’s vote rigging tactic to ensure a limited number of opposition’s supporter register as voters.
If MDC was serious about everyone wishing to vote being given the opportunity to register and then voting then Tsvangirai and company would be insisting on getting the reforms implemented before elections, as SADC leaders have already advised. We should not be contesting elections with no reforms, it is insane!
